The band wants to play a song that originally had a fully produced drum beat. Now it’s up to you to recreate it on a drum set. But every time you try, it sounds like the power is out.
This is the problem drummers face more & more. And who’s to blame? Electronic Dance Music.
From the moment Darude’s Sandstorm dominated the airwaves, the thickly produced drum beats of Electronic Dance Music have become the new standard for drummers to live up to.
You can fight it, or you can embrace it.
Go behind enemy lines and befriend the genre that has revolutionized the role of drumming in popular music.
Drum fills are used by producers every day to build energy before the drop or chorus of the song. And while they get to program it, WE need to play it. You’ll learn how to create effective risers with simple drum fills that start softly, build, and crescendo — creating a powerful experience for your audience.
The feel of the kick & snare makes a drum beat feel complete. You’ll learn how to create an effective four-on-the-floor beat with your kick to make people move, add the hi-hat to make people clap, and bring in the snare to lead to the climax of the song.
Your hi-hat technique will determine the feel of your grooves — and you’ll learn how to make effective adjustments between single strokes, ghost notes, and accents. PLUS you’ll get seven must-know hi-hat patterns to play on top of your kick & snare.
Electrify Your Drumming will teach you the tools and styles of electronic dance music — so you can build energy with risers, lock-in with the vocals, add power to your beats and fills, create a climax in the music, and ultimately fuel any song with your playing — giving you valuable skills that will apply to every style of music.
